1st SS summer update
Things have been interesting to say the least.
DH's schedule sucks right now. He works from 5am-4pm Mon-Fri. Then every 4th day (including weekends) he has a 24 hr shift. So for example if his 24 hr shift is on Tuesday, he will leave at 4am Tuesday and not get home until around 5pm Wed.
This was not going on when we booked the tickets and it will be going on all summer so we couldn't have just pushed things back. Not taking summer was not an option and he isn't allowed any leave time due to the travel bans and current workload. We just have to deal with it.

Blog Hog- Sorry! Should I text BM?
I texted her at 9:50 asking if he made it on his flight. I texted a "?" at 10:26. It is now 11:42- I soooooo badly want to text again and say:
It is pretty sad that you are so petty and insecure you would rather no one know if SS is safe on a plane than just tell me "Yes" after you were already informed that "DH" would not be able to receive calls, texts or emails this morning. I called the airline so I am aware he is on- you need to grow up. I will do the decent thing and let you know when I pick him up from the airport this evening.

SS is on the plane... I think.
Last night when DH talked to SS he made sure to tell him that he would be working today and that he doesn't get reception so make sure to keep JMTB notified because she knows how to reach me if needed. He told BM2 to please keep JMTB (with my phone #) updated with travel as he will be on the ship and not able to get email or texts.

Father's Day
I need advice. I texted and called SS15 but I am apparently blocked again. I was going to offer to get something for Father's day for him to give his dad since he is "supposed" to be here for the day.
1- Do I get something that I know DH wants for SS? It is a special order thing and I need to do it now if I get it.
2- Do I wait and see if SS wants to get something IF he actually shows up? Then take him shopping for what he wants to get him. If this is your choice- Do I wait to see if he asks me or do I ask him?

9 days until SS get's here... BM is making FB posts
SS is supposed to be here in 9 days. Plane tickets were purchased 3 months ago.
This is all per the CO, of course. For those that aren't familiar with my story- BM has severly alientated SS15. He stopped coming to our state for visits for 2 years. It was a lot of court, contempt and $$. BM was told that if she was found guilty of contempt again she would spend 30 days in jail and owe us financially for everything we have asked for. We are talking about 25K and rising.

College paid by dad
Who here has college expenses in your spouses divorce/CO?
How enforceable is that in all reality?
DH has it in his that he is responsible for "up to 1/2 of college" for SS15. If he doesn't show this summer we are just done. We will have the current contempt hearing by the end of summer and we might add not showing up for that visit for financial compensation but that is it.
